<p>What are my chances on getting into Clemson? I understand that it is a difficult school to receive admission.
I am from Michigan.
I am a captain of two varsity teams, I am a PSIA certified ski instructor and I play the trumpet. I take 5 APs and the rest of my classes are predominantly honors. I take two languages (Chinese and Spanish) . I have a 3.7 gpa (3.48) unweighted. My SAT's are 580 math 580 reading and 540 writing. And My ACT composite score is 26. I want to major in accounting. I have several extracurricular and also a part time job. </p>
<p>your ACT/SAT scores are low which may hurt you - GPA is alright. You’ve definitely got a shot though. Good luck!</p>
<p>As an instate student, you would be iffy. But since you are from Michigan, I think you have a slightly better chance! Like @pierre0913 said, you scores are a bit low for Clemson. Most instate students will not be accepted with below a 27 ACT or a 1200 SAT (a few will, but the majority will not). However, Clemson and other state schools like the regional diversity. I doubt many students from Michigan are considering Clemson (since it it so far away) so you have a decent chance. Keep in mind… You are below the rankings for a lot of merit financial aid. Out of State tuition is high. I don’t know what your financial status is, but you will get a lot more money with a 1250 or a 28. Also, your chances will be dramatically higher, if not guaranteed (nothing is guaranteed though…).
Best of luck! Definitely apply because Clemson is a great school! I live in Clemson (technically right outside of it) and there is an amazing atmosphere here!</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>I personally don’t think “regional diversity” has an impact in the admissions process for out of state admissions</p>
<p>I mean, maybe not… But I feel like in general, admissions to state universities are easier to get into if you are out of state. Colleges love to have “higher stats”. But I guess that is my opinion on the subject matter and the only people who really know are the admissions officers! </p>
<p>Clemson’s kept the numbers pretty similar over the years - 2/3rds SC residents, 1/3rd out of state so it’ll always be harder to get into from out of state. It’s a public school so they can never get away with having a large amount of out of state students (unless you’re like Vermont or Delaware and don’t have anybody living there anyways haha)</p>
<p>I don’t think those numbers have anything to do with out of state vs. instate. I think that it’s mostly sc residents attending because we are the ones who are able to afford it. Out of state students have to pay like $40,000. But instate students that get palmetto fellows only have to pay around $10,000 after you include housing and the like. If it was cheaper for out of state, I’m sure a lot more students would attend. </p>
<p>right…but it isn’t cheaper for out of state so you don’t have a point haha</p>
<p>No! What I’m saying is… It’s not harder to get in as an out of state student. There are just not as many that accept</p>
<p>Oh gotcha, well you’re not far off for acceptance rates, there is a small difference in most majors</p>
<p>Arts & Humanities - In-State: 48.6%, OOS: 41.1%
Business - IS: 50.3%, OOS: 42.3%
Forestry/Life Sciences - IS: 57.0%, OOS: 54.9%
Engineering/Science - IS: 66.3%, OOS: 67.3%
Health/Human Development - IS: 32.4%, OOS: 25.1%
Education - IS: 48.8%, OOS: 44.5%</p>
<p>Hmmm… Yeah… It’s almost 50-50 in most of those majors. Not exactly but they are close. </p>
Hey guys,
If I have a twin that also applied to Clemson, with higher grades (4.0 gap, 1840 SAT) will it help my chances of admission, hurt his, or have no effect?
I don’t see why this would be a problem? If you have good enough grades to get in, you’ll get in…
